Short post today 'cause I am gonna wallow in self pity.
Ladies and Gents, I GAINED 2.8 lbs this week. Until the weigh in today I had lost a total of 6 lbs since the beginning of the year and about 3 since this blog was started. I didn't even bother recording my calories today because I was just...upset? disappointed? angry? frustrated? All of the above?
Last week wasn't even a bad week, calorie wise. I ended the week a little over 1000 calories below my allotment, going in the red only one day.
So, I take a time out, step back, look at why I gained this week. I have always believed in moderation. I think if you try and deny cravings, cut out all vices at once you will end up resenting the diet rather than making it a way of life. Have a girl scout cookie or even 2. Don't eat the whole sleeve in one sitting. I have been looking at recommended serving sizes and sticking to that. Having one soda per day instead of 3.
Now I regroup, set some new goals, bring back some old ones. Because I still plan to fit back in that between-pregnancy-tankini when we go to the beach in May.

i love this post. it makes me feel good that i probably won't lose every week, and may gain sometimes. but it's okay. even when you do everything right, sometimes, well, shit happens. or i forget to document something so wonder why i'm so low in calories, and thus eat to fill my calories (which actually takes me over...)
in any case, you're still doing good, and i love that you didn't beat yourself up over this week.
Hannah!
I think we are at that point in our adventure where it's just not very exciting anymore. We're not so "gung-ho" about losing as we were at the beginning, and we're kinda losing that "go getter" attitude. OKay, okay, maybe that's just me... either way, we can still do this. The key? Not to let one or two bad days stop you... every morning is a new chance to change our body shape... and by god if we eat badly that day, there's always tomorrow. Eventually it will be easier, but maybe today just isn't the day for us.
Keep it up! You will look FANTASTIC in that bikini in May!

Oh, Hannah! I can totally relate! Had I remembered to finish my post last week and actually post it, I would have been in the exact same boat! *hugs and <3*
Keep going! And you know what? I like your attitude! You should bottle it up and sell it! I'll be your first customer! ;-)
I think everyone who is trying to stay on-track has off weeks. Hang in there! You're still doing great.
